Ho hum. Just going to be one of those days. Thankfully, DH is having business drinks and dinner this evening so although it crocks his DD, mine's OK. (That sounds callous but he loses far more readily than I do and manages to maintain even if he only has one true DD per week.)

So, it will be quite a late lunch and I plan not to have anything but non-caloric drinks this evening.

I really admire those of you who habitually eat just the one main meal in a day or stick to liquids on a DD. I'd no idea how much I used eating (even small meals) as a way of working around the boring periods of the day.

Good morning, everyone! Here's to a good DD! I plan on keeping busy most of my day, so shouldn't be an issue. I really tried to get in all my calories last night (managed to make it to my limit), so I should be well-fueled.

So much for not eating till dinner time. DH came home with fish & chips to share - well I couldn't just smell them! Fortunately, I didn't have much and our local chippy cooks really dry chips (fries) - I don't eat the batter anyway. ~ where's the halo smiley? ~

L: Was hopefully only about 150 cals
However, I'm going to a meeting this evening, so will have to have dinner by 6pm at the latest.

ETA: I can do the BPC and have finally cracked and ordered some MCT oil as an experiment. But for the rest, it will have to wait until I'm next in the US as, afaik, none of the others are available in the UK (as per Flossyliz's comment below).

not callous at all! My Husband started on the same day as I did and in less than 3 months he was down 40 pounds. He has gained a few (he was too thin) and now, he barely does 1 or 2 DD's a week! GRRRRR MEN!!!!!!!!!!

I'm way over in cals, but I HAVE to go to lunch. So, as I always say "it is what it is."

Mommatomany, I completely agree with you on this. I am not the MOST successful person here, but I go with LIFE is meant to be LIVED! You may not experience a huge loss, but staying the same works sometimes too! (although, you may lose, who knows JUDDD ROCKS)!!!!

I am trying to get my husband to do JUDD with me. I just started. Right now, he thinks I am a little crazy

But I told him once I start dropping weight he will want to join me, I hope anyways! I KNOW he will lose easier than me because he has way more weight to lose than I do! Plus he never eats breakfast and can go half the day without eating no problem, not me!

B: Coffee w skim milk and splenda
L: Beverages only, lemon water mostly (barn day so easy to skip eating while we're out & about)
D: Maybe nothing, belly still hurting from If I do eat it will probably be plain rice or boiled potatoes as they seem to be easiest on my poor, abused system.

I must agree, I knew I ate out of boredom. But it really wasn't until JUDDD that I noticed it was pretty much the cause of my weight gain!! Eating during the day to pass the time...eating while marking ..eating while watching tv .
I have substituted with water, tea and chewing gum. I also like putting sparkly water in a nice wine glass and adding some crystal light -- something special to sip on lol -- its fruity and pretty haha.

DD
B - 2 eggs with SF marmalade, coffee with HWC
L - cold boiled potato
D - cold boiled potato or skinny dip noodles with spaghetti sauce. Depends on my mood this evening
I had the Skinny Dip noodles and added a cup of broth at lunch and a cup of coffee with HWC for dinner. Still under 500 for the day.

Adi I had my first potato, cottage cheese, and salsa meal. Delish! I'm pretty full too! I had 1 cup boiled potato, 1/2 c. ff cottage cheese, and about 4 Tbsp of salsa. About 285 for the day and that includes my 2 Tbsp of ff creamer at breakfast. Just hope I'm not hungry again before bedtime!

I had coffee with almond milk for breakfast, then fasted until dinner. I had 3 strips of bacon, 2 eggs over easy, and a mug of tea with a splash of almond milk.

I forgot to take a pterostilbene capsule today, but didn't really need it. I worked 10 hours and keeping my hands busy helps to distract me from feeling hunger.

Glad you liked the combo. I eat that often since it is easy and I like it.
